#genuinely wHAT THE FUCK

[were--ralph]

So this racist guy I've played Minecraft with for four years that I became codependent with even though he treats me like shit just told me that he bought a chastity cage and accidentally lost the key and now he can't stop thinking about trying to fuck me.

I don't know how to navigate this situation, I would rather kill myself than have this relationship be gay on any level other than subtextually, even just being friends with him is bad enough.

little man's lucky he's gay because he's never having kids after this

Night after night, I witnessed audiences grappling with the raw, unsettling reflection that “Cabaret” held up to them. Some material was simply too much for the audience to handle. “If You Could See Her,” which has the Emcee singing of his love for a gorilla — a thinly veiled commentary on antisemitic attitudes — ended with the lyric: “If you could see her through my eyes, she wouldn’t look Jewish at all.” When we first performed it, in Boston, audiences gasped and recoiled. It was too offensive, too raw, too cruel. Producers fretted and the line was changed to “She isn’t a meeskite at all,” softening the blow, yes, but also the impact. I resented the change and would often, to the chagrin of stage management, “forget” to make the swap throughout that pre-Broadway run. I’m hearing from friends in the current Broadway production of “Cabaret” that the line is once again getting an audible response, but of a different sort. On more than one occasion in the past two weeks — since the election — a small number of audience members have squealed with laughter at “She wouldn’t look Jewish at all.” In the late 1960s, we softened the line because the truth was too hard to hear. Today, it seems the line is playing exactly as the Nazi-sympathizing Emcee would have intended. My initial assessment, when word first reached me about this unusual reaction, was that these must be the triumphant laughs of the complicit, suddenly drunk on power and unafraid to let their bigotry be known. Now I find myself considering other hypotheses. Are these the hollow, uneasy laughs of an audience that has retreated into the comfort of irony and detachment? Are these vocalized signals of acceptance? Audible white flags of surrender to the state of things? A collective shrug of indifference? I honestly don’t know which of these versions I find most ominous, but all of them should serve as a glaring reminder of how dangerously easy it is to accept bigotry when we are emotionally exhausted and politically overwhelmed.

need to sit on the ferrari pit wall for a single race to see how it functions because tell me, how is it possible that carlos was told “chance of rain in S3” and he didn’t pit for inters but charles was told "heavy rain in the next lap" and that’s why he agreed to be put on inters.

that’s not even miscommunication. that’s completely different information. a blatant fucking lie.

a big point of contention for steph and cass in Batgirl 2000 is that steph wants to fight and has the potential to be a really good vigilante, but cass feels a need to protect her when theyre on the field together because she knows steph "isn't good enough yet" and she doesn't want to see her get hurt.

and then steph dies. and cass couldn't save her.

post steph's death, we see a shift in cass's behavior. she was always reckless and blindly trusts her ability to punch her way out of things, but i would argue that she becomes more passively suicidal post war games/war crimes.

then, the two times cass almost dies steph is the one who saves her...steph became cass's white knight...like aughhhhhh

[image id] screenshot of a press release shared three days ago by the transylvania county sheriff's department facebook account. the text reads as follows:

Below is a press release from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services in regards to Trails Carolina.

I know it was because of the poll, but it feels like a really weird choice for Mishka to leave F completely out of the autumn scenarios on Patreon. Like, they're my main LI and a core member of UB......
